Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
LIUZZA (8) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at Oaklawn Park five-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Sure to prove very tough to beat. NILO'S ROSE (9) proved too strong two runs ago at Aqueduct. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1408m at Keeneland, beaten 16 lengths. Has the class to return to the winner's list. BEIRA (6) made late ground and finished third last time over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. ROSIEONTHERIVER (4) was beaten 10 lengths into fourth in a 1609m contest at Evangeline Downs last time out. Nicely placed to find some form.
